Pretty much the worst thing I've ever heard.

Not even sure if they are human from the sound of them.

Sadly the reason that I pass on listening to so many modern metal bands - shite vocalist, or a good vocalist singing like shite!

Many are 'vocalists' now, and not singers. rather annoying

This is what is so wrong with some people - I don't want to be an asshole here, but calling them ####!!s is hardly productive - That being said, I've heard many better cookie monster vocalist - If you don't like what you hear, then don't listen to it.

Not saying I think it's a good cover, but I think many people are saying it's terrible because it's a death metal cover - not because it's a bad death metal cover.

+1

I like a lot of Death Metal (though as a genre it was ruined by too many "generic" unimaginative bands being signed), but this is really bad :(

Barnes seems to have really gone downhill - his vocals have lost so much of their ferocity, just aimless grunting now. OK, he was a comically bad vocalist in Cannibal Corpse, but the first Six Feet Under album (with Allen West, which not surprisingly gave it a strong Obituary flavour) was quite good. Everything they've done since has been lousy though.

If you want to hear an extreme metal band cover ACDC well, try Exodus' recent rendition of Dirty Deeds, or for those with long memories, Onslaught's Let there be Rock.... :)

Ahahaha... Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't growl vocals supose to sound evil, scarry, mean, whatever (you know, death, blood, suffering and stuff). I rather find them quite funny most of the times, especially grind vocals!

However, there are lots of great death metal bands, with much better vocals!

Btw why is every growl vocalist fat? :D

Erm, Just out of interest (and without meaning to cause offence), all death metal sounds totally Identical to me.

How does one decide what constitutes "good" death metal and "bad" death metal.

In other words WTF is the difference between cannibal corpse, six feet under, maggot eyeballs and the dead grandma rapists, et al.

PS. and while we're at it, whats the difference between death and all the other metal styles doom, thrash, black etc.

I'm pretty sure this is a killing offense. Or at the very least a severe beating. ;)

Actually, Exodus used to do a damn fine version of Dirty Deeds...
